Kitchener/Waterloo's Local Focus Film Festival!

A short film of mine will be screened in it!

Heard about the Local Focus Festival yet? It's a free film festival put on by The Multicultural Cinema Club, which supplies rental equipment and other extremely useful filmmaking resources.

The films will be screening at Kitchener City Hall, and the opening gala is tonight at 6 o'clock. Go there and schmooze, and see some clips from the festival's selection. Most of (if not all) the films are locally produced, so this is a chance for local filmmakers to display their works for the city's public.

My entry was for the 24 film challenge, which will be screening with the others in the category this Saturday at 2pm! It's called The Pharaoh - and mark it well, for there shall be more.

Heavy Metal and The Figure Skater

It's about time you knew the true face of figure skating. About time you knew what was at stake.

WWI era Name Suggestions for Kitchener

I heard it from Trevor Haldenby who told it to Darren Wershler, who tracked it down and put it up on his blog.

There's this document floating around about the different names that were being considered for Kitchener, then called Berlin, around WWI. And some of the suggestions are pretty effing badass.

Document sourced here.

I almost wish I was living in the industrial nightmare of Factoria, black streets and black rain. Trenchcoats and pain. Bauhaus instead of Hans haus.

Which is your favourite?
